Hi, Everyone, I am new to this site. In 2010 my husband was struck by a bus and suffered a TBI. He is not the same person he was before. Very irritable,uncooperative, hateful, sleeps a lot. The doctors keep changing his anti depressant and won't give him anything for agitation. The last anti depressant he was on was Lexapro, which made him sleep constantly, not even getting up to eat or drink anything. I took him off of it myself. Now he is on no anti depressant and is basicaly unresponsive. I am at my wits end.

Do you think he is in pain? I know it made a huge difference when I was finally treated for chronic pain. I did not react well to any of the anti-depressant medication. In fact it made me much worse. Does he complain about pain a lot? Moan or whimper? Does not want to move because it hurts?
So sorry you and him are going through this. A brain injury is so devastating not only to the person but to their loved ones as well. You can come talk to us on the traumatic brain injury forum. I know the good people there have helped other caregivers. Good luck to you and you husband.
